Ok, everybody, place your bets on how many weeks it'll take for Marcille to officially be a young Old God. Or a kraken. Being just dead is off the table at this point.1
Smash the mirror and consume the third sea slug! Then eat the mirror, too. After that, try to bend the distinct lack of doors with my beastly strenght. Then eat the sea slug. Make sure to break the wood plank in half to show my strenght to everyone.
((OOC: I think I know the answer to the riddle, but IC I'm probably just going to brute force everything until it works.
"See what you saw"
I think I saw a saw in the mirror. There is a plank of wood in the room, so I think someone should try to use the saw on the plank.))
Beating a sea slug to death is thirsty work, so I shall drink all of the water that is in that lock thing.
Wait a second.Never even heard of that before. ‘looks up on wikipedia’ Huh.QuoteThis particular lock appears to contain a large amount of water, separated into several different levels. You attempt to throw it at the plank of wood, but the lock is a little bit too big for that.QuoteWhy, the boat is bobbing in water! What else would a boat be bobbing in, a lampshade?This is a goddamn water lock. I think there is a river or canal in the room.
Changing action: Investigate water lock; what is in or under the water? Does the water lead to or from somewhere outside the room? Also, trying a technicality; Are there any holes or such in the walls, ceiling, or floor of the room, such that we could escape the room from them? There can be exits without doors, of course.
Open the gates on the water lock.
That's it! Kill the Nobody else with dark magic.
Figure out what the boat is bobbing in. Instead of separating the distinct lack of doors, fold the "lack of" inward so that it reads "distinct doors".
Something like this:___ -> _/\_ -> _||_
The Obvious solution to the problem it to pick up the wood plank and hit the sea slug with it until it is dead.
Step through the Mirror. Should I emerge unscathed, push on a wall.
Eat the sea slug that is currently out of my stomach, the one from the mirror. Examine myself in the mirror and try to eat my reflection, too. Then jump against the mirror, either crashing against it and destroying it or going through. Both outcomes are favorable. Then find something to eat because I haven't eaten anything recently.
Glare at the Nobody else. Attempt to provoke a response.
I'll be posting the final story as well as the save on monday, unless I'm busy at work at which point it will be for Tuesday. hope that's okay with you guys.
Examine the Nobody else. Who is he?
Form a mental image of the sea slug. If nothing happens, examine the boat.
I don't care about mysteries and I'm sure as hell not going to bother understanding obvious prey. Try to eat the sea slug. If I can't eat the sea slug/after eating the sea slug, eat the "Nobody else" guy. Regardless of outcome, eat the distinct lack of doors too. Then eat the sea slug again.
Take the distinct lack of doors and rip part of it off, so that "distinct lack of" is separate from doors. Apparently, the sea slug is not an entity, or so the turn assumes.
Examine the lock, if it does nothing throw it a the plank of wood.
Can we start with only 4 players and have the 5th join later?
Sorry for bumping OOC and double posting, but I still have the question about the Empathy Gland. Also, how many missions would it take to get the stats and credits for the Psionic Amplifier?
